Do you like needlecrafts? Then you'll probably enjoy my blog. I feature projects I am currently working on in addition to occasional stash enhancements and journeys. I also have a whole herd of kittens and am like a new parent with new photos daily. I usually only post a couple of times a week.

Catching Up

As soon as I get done with my swap and the QATW BOM, I'll be working on an old, old BOM. Back around 2002, I bought a bunch of Joann's Holiday Tidings quilt blocks from the clearance box. This was a BOM from 2000. Over time, I've acquired other packages of this project so that I now have enough fabric to do all the blocks. Joanne's QuiltBlocks Dept. (1-866-784-5825) will send you copies of any missing instructions, which is great. While I know I will have to substitute a little fabric for the bottom quadrant, I think the result will be great!

About Me

I've been crocheting since 1971, knitting again since 1991, quilting since 1992, scrapbooking since 1995 and cross-stitching since 2003. I primarily crochet afghans and knit norwegian sweaters. My quilts tend to be traditional patterns. Cross-stitching varies, but I'm fond of fantasy/enchantment themes. My scrapbooks are mostly scenic photos-a real challenge. I love to Travel, but don't get to go often. My last trip was 2005 to Texas!
